“I think it’s good if it’s put in the forefront about these scooters, because they are dangerous,” she said.

“They do do go very fast down the town. If you stepped out slightly they wouldn’t do anything. I’m a bit nervous now when I go up the the town. [Walking on the pavements] is worse than walkling on the roads, And now I’ve had the experience of how they can hurt you.

“I have heard of a lot of people who have had near misses or been hurt with them.”

More regulation needed

Ann said she believed that there should be more regulations around mobility scooters to eliminate the legal “grey area”.

She added that people who ride them should also get more training, as the man who knocked her over should have known that long clothing could get caught in the wheels.

“I think there ought to be more of a comeback. I just don’t like this grey area,” she said.
